The sign has since been taken down, but a picture of the sign quickly got attention on a Sylvan Springs community Facebook page. Some called the sign “over the top and unnecessary.”

Thomas has battled cancer on and off for several years. Hilyer, who lost his dad to cancer, said he wasn’t trying to be insensitive.

“I was mad. I was super mad, and I would rather him be anywhere than here bothering me,” Hilyer explained.

The two men have been feuding over various property issues since Hilyer moved to the area last fall. According to neighbors, sheriff’s deputies have been called on several occasions. During one incident last March, a fight between the two ended with Thomas being arrested and charged with public intoxication.

Hilyer said he wishes he and Thomas could put their problems behind them.

“If he came out and said ‘Hey man I want this to be squashed.’ I’d shake his hand and do anything he needed to do,” Hilyer said. “I don’t wake up every morning and say ‘You know what I’m fixin’ to stick it to him.”

Thomas didn’t want to comment on the ongoing feud. He did say, however, he was glad that his son, who is away at college, was not home to see the sign.
